Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering, Volume 1

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express
it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of
knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the
stage of science."  Lord Kelvin

Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and
job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state
requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track
progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits,
they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful,
useful data.

The Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering is
the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering
measurementsbeyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedic
in scope, Volume 1 spans several disciplinesCivil and
Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering,
and Industrial Engineeringand covers:

New Measurement Techniques in Structural Health Monitoring

Traffic Congestion Management

Measurements in Environmental Engineering

Dimensions, Surfaces, and Their Measurement

Luminescent Method for Pressure Measurement

Vibration Measurement

Temperature Measurement

Force Measurement

Heat Transfer Measurements for Non-Boiling Two-Phase Flow

Solar Energy Measurements

Human Movement Measurements

Physiological Flow Measurements

GIS and Computer Mapping

Seismic Testing of Highway Bridges

Hydrology Measurements

Mobile Source Emissions Testing

Mass Properties Measurement

Resistive Strain Measurement Devices

Acoustics Measurements

Pressure and Velocity Measurements

Heat Flux Measurement

Wind Energy Measurements

Flow Measurement

Statistical Quality Control

Industrial Energy Efficiency

Industrial Waste Auditing

Vital for engineers, scientists, and technical managers in
industry and government, Handbook of Measurement in Science and
Engineering will also prove ideal for members of major
engineering associations and academics and researchers at
universities and laboratories.
